Question

square qrst is a translation of square qrst. write the translation rule. (x, y) → ( , )

Explanation:

Step1: Find the x - translation

Let's take a point, say $Q(2,7)$. Its image $Q'(-7,-6)$. The change in the x - coordinate is $-7-2=-9$. So the x - translation is $x\to x - 9$.

Step2: Find the y - translation

Using the same points $Q(2,7)$ and $Q'(-7,-6)$, the change in the y - coordinate is $-6 - 7=-13$. So the y - translation is $y\to y - 13$.

Answer:

$(x,y)\to(x - 9,y - 13)$
